What is the difference between Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, Eau de Cologne and Perfume?
The difference depends on the concentration or amount of oils in the fragrance. The higher the concentration of oils will translate into a longer lasting scent and would require less to apply. In order, from highest concentration to lowest is Parfum, Eau de Parfum, Eau de Toilette, and Eau de Cologne.
Why do some fragrances seem to last longer than others?
The amount of PH levels (amount of acidity in our skin) will determine how each ingredient in a fragrance will react.
Your skin type also plays a big role on how long a fragrance will last on you. Dry skin holds a fragrance for a shorter time compared to a oily skin. Oily skin has natural moisture to soak and hold in the fragrance.
Is there a way to make my scent last longer?
Applying your fragrance on parts of the body that has a strong pulse will help the scent last longer and be more powerful.
Why does fragrance contain alcohol?
Alcohol makes the scent emanate from your skin. In result, the fragrance is then shared in the air to your surroundings.
What is the difference between After Shave Gel, After Shave lotion, and After Shave Balm?
After Shave Balm helps sooth the skin when it is applied. After Shave Gel will cool your skin and relieves razor burn from shaving. After Shave Lotion may sting but will help close your pores after you shave.
How can I keep my fragrance from going bad?
Store your fragrances in a cool and dry area. Also, keep your fragrances away from windows that has sunlight coming in.
What is a tester?
Testers are used by department stores to help promote the fragrance to customers. A tester is the original fragrance, in its original bottle, sometimes come in a plain box, and at times, without the cap. There is no difference in fragrance, strength or quality. All of our testers are sold full and never used. If any UPC codes are altered or missing, it was not done by the manufacturer and took place at some point in the supply chain after it left the manufacturer.
What does "unboxed" mean?
At times, a box may be damaged while it was in transit to our warehouse. We then remove the fragrance from the damaged box and sell it as an "unboxed" item. There is no difference in fragrance, strength or quality. All of our unboxed items are sold full and never used. If any UPC codes are altered or missing, it was not done by the manufacturer and took place at some point in the supply chain after it left the manufacturer.
